2024 Bow Swap Progress Thread - Open

I know a guy he's here if he wants to do templates.______

I could provide some detailed photos of the ones i had built by Brandon for design lay out. I believe he set his up for .050 accent strips, but they still work well using .030-.060 accents....

The problem that exists is that different riser shapes need different shape footings. The ones i had made fit my 17-19" Sasquatch SS risers, and the first Gen sasquatch risers, but do not work well my TD Bare risers or my Flatliner either.

The way Brandon did it was have the guys send a template shape of the riser to him with a prefered footing shape drawn on it. He programed the cnc to match the drawing on the riser template somehow. Then he set up patterns for location pins and provided drill jigs, so after you rough cut the riser blocks on the band saw, they are held in place with location pins and used a couple bolts to hold them in place.

I could do a video on how these work if someone is interested in building some of these fine jigs.    Kirk

Roughed out riser. Posting a little heavy this week because I'll be out of town. Next week. 

First time having these three together and I thought the colors complimented nicely

Black limba with ipe accents and maple ibeam. Should look nice when carved up

I’ve seen those pattern sander drums for drill presses. I always worried about not keeping the sanding surface square. I have a really good drill press and there’s still a little side to side movement in the chuck.

It's actually very hard on a std drill press using a sanding drum. they are not really designed to take that lateral pressure. Mike is right about those Robo drum sanders. they are junk...

For doing a lot of pattern sanding its best to use an edge sander of some sort with a belt.   Although.... That belt sander set up that was powered by a drill press that one of the guys here has posted would probably work fine if you have a way of securing it solid and square to the table.  .02 cents worth.   Kirk

Me thinks limbs match riser very well.

[Kirkll]

I remember laying up someaction would with maple and walnut many years ago and the limbs had some good snap to em… pretty expensive lams though with all the time and glue.  I laid mine up with urac 185 to save on epoxy.
